Urgent: Concerns Regarding Fraudulent Returns and Refunds
amazon platform can be good Dear Amazon Seller Support Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to urgently address a critical issue that has been severely impacting my business. I have encountered multiple instances where customers are returning items that do not match the products I originally shipped, yet they are still receiving full refunds. This situation is causing significant financial loss and is detrimental to my operations as a seller on Amazon.
Here are the key concerns I would like to highlight:
Fraudulent Returns: I have observed several cases where customers have returned items that are different from what was shipped. Despite providing evidence and detailed reports, I have not received adequate resolution, and these customers are receiving full refunds. This situation is not only unfair but also unsustainable for my business.
Delivery Partners' Involvement: In some cases, it appears that delivery partners or delivery personnel might be involved in these fraudulent activities. There are instances where the returned packages seem to have been tampered with, or the items do not correspond to the original shipments. This raises concerns about potential collusion or negligence on the part of delivery personnel.
Lack of Support and Resolution: Despite raising these issues through the standard support channels, I have not received effective solutions or preventive measures. The process for handling these cases seems to be heavily biased towards customer protection without sufficient consideration for the seller’s perspective.
Impact on Business: The financial losses from these fraudulent returns are accumulating and are becoming increasingly damaging to my business. The lack of effective measures to address and prevent such fraud is eroding trust in the platform and affecting my ability to sustain my operations.
I kindly request that Amazon take the following actions to address these issues:
Review and Investigate: Conduct a thorough review and investigation of the specific cases of fraudulent returns and delivery partner involvement. Implement stricter controls and audits to identify and mitigate such fraudulent activities.
Strengthen Seller Protection: Enhance measures to protect sellers from fraudulent returns and ensure that there is a fair process for resolving disputes. Consider implementing better verification systems for returns and refunds.
Improve Communication and Support: Provide more effective support and clearer communication channels for sellers facing these issues. Offer practical solutions and preventive measures to help safeguard against such fraud.
Collaborate with Delivery Partners: Work closely with delivery partners to ensure that there are checks and balances in place to prevent tampering or involvement in fraudulent activities.
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your response. It is essential for me to continue operating on Amazon with confidence that my business is protected from fraudulent practices.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Best regards,
BHARAT SPORTS

You will not get any response from the Amazon team. Even they don't have time to read this message. They are busy with creating new good policies for customers.

In my experience the wrong returned item can be claimed by a simple safe-t clam feature and the refund amount is equal to what you would have earned on this order and there is simply no loss to the seller in cases where A WRONG ITEM IS RETURNED. So are you saying that you are not able to file a safety claim or despite filing the claim you are not being reimbured the amount. I agree that the policy on damaged products @ approximately 20% of the total cost reimbursed needs to be seriously considered.

We are facing a problem where the packages are fraudulently opened in transit and the goods are switched, the goods are expensive and Amazon unfairly rejects their claim, and don't know why Amazon is not interested in investigating such cases. They ignore it. It's very surprising. Last year we have had 10-15 such cases.

no response can be expected from amazon as always. Diversify as much as you can

The easiest way to implement a fair model for both sellers and buyers is Open Box Delivery. Flipkart has done that now and I can seriously say that it is working very well. Only Genuine buyers are buying - Delivery agent opens and shows the product is working. Later on for any issues, they can contact the Brand for service.
For our industry - computer items and accessories - it's one of the best things that has happened on Flipkart.
